The other day I watched a great documentary on Paul Klee. It's pretty new (not that old PBS style). In Paul Klee: The Silence of the Angel, 2005 his life story is partially illustrated by puppets he made for his child. Each puppet is a character that represents a phase of his life. Of course there is beautiful black and white footage and lush colorful images of the work too. A bonus feature is 150 digital images of selected works you watch as a slideshow. A small cross section considering he made over 9,000 paintings and even more drawings.
You can rent it on netflix: Paul Klee: The Silence of the Angel. By documentarian Michael Gaumnitz. Released in 2005.
I couldn't find any clips of the film to post but here are just a few great paintings:
